The Maid and The Highwayinan
Merchant Traveller.

1t was a giddy, gushing girl from New
York, with an amplitude o. bangs and a
scarceness of vocabulary, which showed
at once her romantic tendencies. She
was traevling in stage coach in one of the
sparsely settled regions of the country.
"Ohl" she said to her mother, II do won
der whether we are going to make this
whole trip without even the sign of an ad-
venture. Wouldn't ii be horrid?"
Her mother informed her that she didn' t
have much common sense, but the girl
didn't seem to mind it in the least. In
the course of the next hour, however, the
coach stopped suddenly and the muzxle of
pistol was showed through the door.
Sorry TO trouble you, ladies' said
the man whose head followed the pistol,
"but if you've got eny valibles, them's
what We want, en- we're a little pressed for
time"
ooh, mamma, at last we have found a
real highwayman," said the girl with a
delightful little shrek. you're real
live robber, aren't your"
"Well, reckon that's what I'm called"
"And you tell people to hold up their
hands and say your money or your life
TO them, don't you?"

Glow lovely! just come right in and
sit here beside me.'
aye see, miss, I'm here On business, an
I'll trouble you"
mo, you won't trouble us at all. Just
come in we, wont hurt you. l just dote
on robbers"
The highwayman had dropped his pistol
and was beginning to look apprehersive.
"Do you have to go away and rob some
body?" she snquired naively. II hope
you will not run away, because | am just
beginning to set acquainted with you. l

But the stage-door closed with bang
and the highwayman had fed.

TECHNICAL EDUCATION.

TINS subject is receiving much atten-
ton in England at the present time
The London Chamber of Commerce
thinks the evil of lack of technical
education has become SO pronounced as
to call earnest attention to it.
In the House of Commons recently a
bill dealing with technical education
came up. In opening the debate Sir w
Hart Dyke said:
mere was Royal Commission on Tech
meal Education which reported in 1894
lhat commission let in food of light on
tne question of technical education. 7

TEE CHATSwORTH DISASTER.

by the Australia, or who have since
died, is officially stated at 70. The
seriously wounded number I29, and the
slightly injured $50, making a grand
total OF 1853 killed and wounded. Several
OF the victims who were still at Chefs

their wounds so that the death roll will
probably be increased.

dispatch from that place, dated August
9th: We have full-fedged Dictator.
All personal guarantees have been sus-
pended. Martial law prevails. The
Republic has been declared in a state of
siege. Passports have to be obtained
to go from one department to another.
All this is done in the name of liberty.
The people are so intimidated that thew
do not dare rebel. Russia is not so des-
potlc as Guatemala is to-day. 1t has
quite marked effect on business. as
outsiders do not care to come to the
city, fearing to make improvements be-

nent question: IF we introduce needle
work into girls schools why should not
grants be made for manual instruction in
boys schools ?" The Commissioners also
recommend that rudimentary drawing
should be continued throughout the stand
ards These are some of the recommend
atoms with which the present bill proposes
TO deal
The object of the bill is to enable local
authorities to provide for the establishment
of technical schools, or to assist in provid-
ing them, and also to give local authorities
power to supplement existing teaching in
elementary schools by technical inSruc-
ton, whether by day or evening classes.
There will also be a proposal in the bill
with regard to the rate-payers, to whom
power of vetoing any proposal under the
bill will be given. We propose that the bill
should be administered by the Science and
Art Department-that is to say, that it
should be administered subject to the di-
rectorate of that department. We also
propose that the bill should have the linn
itatiOn that no scholar should come under
it's operation until he has reached the
Sl4b0 SbdLQdTQ. LIE 1OI dU-
ministering the powers conferred by the
bill will be School Boards where they exist,
and where they do not exist Town Coun-
ellis.
Clause 4 is what may call the operative
clause of the bill, and it enables local au-
thorities to provide technical schools. Of
course that would involve expense in build
ing; but there is subsection of clause 4
which enables the local authority to COM
bine with any other local authorities. This
will enable a system of combination to be
adopted which will prove a great saving to
the rate-payers; and further, the next sub
section provides the local authority may
contribute toward the maintenance or pro-
vision of any technical school which has
been established by any other local author
ity. 1t is further intended to include
provision that local authorities shall be
to rate for the purpose of sup
any existing institution.

The New Hebr,des Oues,,on

Mr.. David Syme of the Melbourne
"Age" who passed through on the
Zealandia was interviewed in San Fran
cisco. He alluded to the efforts of
France to secure the New Hebrides. the
subject being he said, one to which
Australians were paying great deal of
attention at present. France is striving
to secure the islands, not for purposes
OF colonization, but simply for the es-
adjustment of penal settlements similar
to that in New Gale .onia. The Colonial
government was strongly averse to hay-
ing their prisons filed with the scum of
French convicts, who after being a few
months in durance vile, managed to
escape to Australia. Within the last
two months a boat load of Frenchmen.
escaped convicts, had landed in the
northern part of Australia pretending to
nave been shipwrecked.
Speaking of federation, Mr.. Syme said
that the idea in the abstract had been
very popular in the Colonies some two
years back, but when an effort was made
10 give 1t practical application the feel
ing IN its favor grew very lukewarm.

Authorization,

While the sap is slightly starting,
And the Lenten times departing,
While just the slightest verdure is preparing to
emerge,
The musings Of the maiden
Are with summer pleasures laden,
With the swinging of the hammock and the sound
ing of the surge.
She judges twilight flirting
An amusement most diverting,
With its foolish conversation so necessarily re-
newed;
With the evening sun descending,
She delights to watch the blending
OF the verdure of the landscape with the verdure
of the dude.
Her fancy dwells with flowers
In the shade of pleasant bowers,
Where the fairy footed summer winds most
OPPORTUNITY steal;

Shall suggest romantic rambles

friend saw it for the first time, he exclaimed:
How appropriated Was he Of gentle dis
positions"
''Whewl I guess not. He would shoot in a
